That 70s Puzzle
(Published on 21. November 2021, 00:12 by Bremster)
After struggling for so long with ambiguity puzzles, I decided to try to set one to see if it would help me with solving them in future.
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Each colour dot is a difference dot, with each colour indicating a different difference value. Not all dots are given.
Because this puzzle is an ambiguity puzzle, I am providing links to the puzzle as well as to a reference grid you can use to track the ambiguity values of the difference digits.
Also because this grid is based on colour, I have provided colour blind friendly versions of the grid that have letters as well as the colours. I have had two different colour blind people check these grids and that have both reported they work. If you are still having an issue, the "Hide Colors" option in the CtC version will turn off the colours so you just see the letters.

Thank you, BremSter, for making this puzzle. Loved the idea of trying to find which color corresponded to which difference. Very technical puzzle, but fun to solve!

Great idea. I didn't see that there was a solve video till afterwards. This solve is not difficult! Unless you are a novice you should try it on your own.
